The Archivematica name and logo are trademarks, trade names, product names, graphic logos and service marks that have been registered internationally by Artefactual Systems Inc..

Archivematica's license does not grant permission to use the trademarks, trade names, product names, graphic logos or service marks of the licensor except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the work.

However, to help foster the Archivematica software and user community, Artefactual Systems grants the use of the Archivematica name and logo under the terms of the Archivematica trademark license.

Although you are encouraged to use the Archivematica trademark and logo for your own purposes, you must first obtain a license. You can either obtain this license automatically, or through a license grant procedure. The Archivematica trademark license provides a detailed explanation and examples of whether you receive an automatic license, or whether you need to obtain a license through the license grant procedure. In addition, the license explains which "rules of use" apply when you use the Archivematica trademark (whether you obtained the license automatically, or through the license grant procedure).

The Archivematica trademark license is derived from the Drupal Association's trademark and logo policy.
